Final comments
In Luton there is an airport, 15 min. far from town. Easy jet offer cheap tickets from Bcn to Luton so it was not a big problem. Luton is well comunicated to London(45 min, far). Also there is a bus service that takes you to Cambridge and Oxford. The weather is horrible, I have missed a little the sunny Spain. I have met lots of people with some i am still in contact. After this experience i became more open-minded and more self-confidence. I leanrt how survive in another country with a difference language, different culture and it was so good. I also learnt other subjects of my carrer that are different in my university.I recommend to study abroad!!
I am sure everybody will enjoy it
